I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Sep 2023
Interview
The process started with an online written test, followed by 2 technical interviews and finally the panel interview which had 5 individual interviews. The last step is call with team director.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Identify manufacturing methods and materials for some sample parts
First interview was HR. Second was technical. They said I was not enough to solve a problem. I have answered many questions correctly. But at the end, they were not satisfied.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
sink marks, separation line, plastic injection quality problems, design processes, exterior parts requirements, a problem which I saw and my solution, my desire to work with Tesla, my experiences, termoset vs termoplastic, stress-strain 1-2-3-4 region, out of tolerance graphic, GD&T tolerance, gap and flash out of tolerance (red points)...
The interview process is rigorous. The interview process is thorough.
The interview process is difficult to follow at first since it was my first interview during my job search. Three rounds of interview are conducted including theory tests, then behavioral tests and for the final interview you have to prepare a presentation to be presented to the team members about what you had done in schools. For me the third test was very draining
